Interested participants will submit a proposal addressing the following points:

1) Which ones of the twelve questions / themes below would you privilege to start working on in small groups during the conference? (please indicate your first and second choice)

#1 How do we conceive the relations between individual and collective transformations?

#2 How do we conceive the relations between cognitions, emotions and the heart of transformations?

#3 How do we conceive the relations between material and spiritual dimensions of transformative processes?

#4 How do we conceive the meanings of dialogue and its relation to transformations?

#5 How do we conceive the relations between the experience of criticality (e.g., crisis, critical reflection) and transformative processes?

#6 How do we conceive the relations between the experience of space, time and the rhythms through which transformations unfold?

#7 How do we conceive the relations between identity and transformational processes (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, linguistic and cultural background, etc.)?

#8 How do we conceive the relations between organizational learning and transformative processes?

#9 How do we conceive the conscious and the unconscious dimensions of transformative processes?

#10 How do we explore transformative processes through alternative ways of knowing (e.g., symbolic, aesthetic, metaphorical, non-verbal, embodied, etc.)

#11 How do we conceive the relations between theory and praxis and the ways they relate to transformative processes?

#12 How do we study transformative processes (e.g., epistemological and methodological issues, researcher’s positionality)?

2) Explain why the two questions / themes selected are of interest for you?

3) How do you position yourself regarding the study and/or practice related to transformative processes (e.g., theoretical background, specific approach, methodology, etc.)?

4) What are the research questions and agenda you have been working on, or the areas of interest you are exploring, in relation to transformative processes in learning and education?

5) What are the issues, questions or challenges you are currently facing, or you have encountered in your own research and or practice (e.g., sources of uncertainty, vulnerability, dilemmas, etc.)?

6) What would be your expectations when meeting with other members of this community/network, or toward people who are interested in working on transformative processes?

7) What would be the profile of the participants you would like to work with during the working group sessions of this conference? (you can select several options)

· Researchers interested in theoretical contributions

· Researchers interested in empirical research

· Researchers interested in methodological questions

· Doctoral candidates

· Practitioners interested in reflecting on educational practices

· Participants originating from countries that are different of one’s own

· Participants from the same region of the world as oneself

· Participants having specific expertise in the field

· Participants with limited knowledge of the field

8) During the conference, participants will have some estimated time to introduce their research and questions within their small working groups. This can include aesthetic/artistic/experiential activities. Please mention in your proposal how you wish to “introduce” your research and your “big unanswered” questions to your group.
